Cometic vs. GTIR headgasket

krikra · 12-29-2005, 06:40 PM

When comparing the cometic gasket to the normal GTIR some water holes are smaller and the pattern is not comletely the same.
Im sure its not a big deal but is there a reason for this?
Would be nice if some HG expert could confirm that these differences are OK.........

yes the top one is standard...

The cometic gasket has smaller water holes but there is more of them... does that make up for the smaller size?

I got a cosmetic head gasket in my GTI-R motor for about almost 2 years now and haven't had a problem yet and i have goten the car up to 20psi .Good luck!

the standard nissan head gasket will take 20psi easily.

I'll try and send the picture to cometic and see what they say..
